Hungry for Wood Pulp?

I will warn you that this may sound a little fanatic and I really try not to be pushy. I do have an opinion and I feel that we as people have the right to choose for ourselves. I want to make good choices for myself and my family and I don't expect any person or group to do the exact same as I do. This is posted simply for information.

I read an interesting article today about cellulose being used as a food additive to allow for more fiber, longer shelf life, and less fat. I do understand that Americans are having a hard time getting enough fiber and reducing fat in their diets but I feel the majority of these people need to return to a balanced diet including fruits, vegetables, and whole grains. I do not feel that wood pulp is the best choice for the masses.

Fruit and vegetables offer a good source of fiber and offer other beneficial antioxidants and more. I am among those who do not incorporate these enough in my daily routine but I am trying to take small steps to do better. Improvements in anything, including diet, take time, planning, and some effort. I do know that when I eat better I feel better and when you find something good you should share with others.
